Americans have spoken loud and clear: enough is enough. A recent Cygnal survey reveals that a commanding majority of voters, including a critical mass of swing voters, support deporting illegal aliens from our country. The left’s open-border fantasy has hit a brick wall of reality, and voters across America are demanding real solutions. It’s time we listen.
According to this compelling poll, nearly two-thirds of likely 2026 voters—63.5 percent—support deporting illegal immigrants back to their countries of origin. This majority cuts across political affiliations, with not only 90 percent of Republicans but also 61 percent of independents backing deportations. Even more telling: a solid majority of swing voters, 66 percent, favor deportations, underscoring that border security is no partisan issue—it’s a common-sense American priority.
These results shouldn’t surprise anyone paying attention. The Biden Democrats left us with a border crisis of historic proportions: record-breaking illegal crossings, overwhelmed border towns, and skyrocketing fentanyl deaths. President Trump inherited a nation in crisis and is once again cleaning up the mess—taking decisive action to restore order, protect American jobs, and ensure our communities’ safety.
President Trump has shown true leadership by implementing innovative solutions to encourage illegal aliens to self-deport. The Department of Homeland Security recently announced a groundbreaking program offering voluntary travel assistance and stipends to illegal immigrants who agree to return home. Not only does this initiative offer dignity and safety to those departing, but it’s also proving a far more cost-effective alternative for American taxpayers.
Consider this: the average cost to arrest, detain, and deport an illegal immigrant is a staggering $17,121. By contrast, the new voluntary departure program reduces these costs by around 70 percent. In just one recent example, an illegal alien who entered under Biden’s disastrous policies accepted a flight from Chicago to Honduras, safely and voluntarily leaving our country. Additional flights are already booked, promising further taxpayer savings and enhanced national security.
Opponents will cry foul, calling these policies heartless or cruel. But what is truly cruel? A secure border that respects America’s laws, sovereignty, and safety, or open-border chaos that enriches cartels, exploits vulnerable migrants, and devastates American families with drug trafficking and crime? The Democrats’ refusal to enforce immigration laws has resulted in human suffering on both sides of the border. President Trump’s humane and sensible approach breaks this cycle—protecting both Americans and those who aspire to become Americans the right way.
Moreover, the survey reveals compelling support among minority voters, who increasingly recognize that unchecked illegal immigration hurts their communities first and worst. Half of black voters and 43 percent of Hispanic voters also support deportations. These numbers dismantle the left’s baseless narrative that enforcing immigration laws is somehow “racist.” Real Americans understand that border security is fundamental to economic and community stability—especially for working-class neighborhoods already struggling economically.
This poll aligns with recent CNN and CBS News surveys, both confirming that the American public broadly supports deporting illegal aliens. The message to politicians is crystal clear: voters expect real border security, not empty rhetoric. The American people are tired of seeing their communities strained, their wages depressed, and their safety compromised. It’s time politicians across the spectrum acknowledge this reality.
President Trump’s America First immigration policy isn’t just popular—it’s necessary. For too long, establishment politicians ignored voters’ demands, prioritizing cheap labor and appeasing leftist activists. Now, voters insist on action. Trump’s policies put American workers first, protect our nation’s sovereignty, and restore rule of law to our immigration system.
The tide has decisively turned. The American people demand an end to the chaos. They demand secure borders, fair wages, and safe communities. President Trump is delivering exactly that. It’s time for opponents in Washington to get on board or get out of the way—because America is ready for real leadership and real results.
